Easter Bunny


 I recently won a prize from STAMPlorations and chose this Broken Glass stencil for my prize. I thought it would make a pretty Easter card so that's what I made. I used distress inks and small brushes to color it. I used  Tempting Turquoise cardstock to make the card base and mat, and used some MFT stitched oval dies to make the focal point. I stamped the (r) SU! bunny image with Memento ink and colored it in with a light tan marker. I used some pink for the eye and ears and used a chocolate marker for the nose. The grass was made with a Sweet'n Sassy die and I added a little bow that was recycled from another card.

I'm going to enter this into the challenges listed below:

NBUS #24 - the stencil is brand new
Craft Rocket Challenge #79 - use dies and/or spring
Just Us Girls Challenge #574 - word week "animals"
STAMPlorations March Stencil challenge - a/g and must use a stencil












Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day whatever you do!

Well done on your new stencil, it seems so useful and just perfect for this colourful background! A perfect choice of colours and a lovely focal point with the cute bunny in the ovals! The details of grass and bow finish it perfectly, beautiful design!

Such a cool idea to use that stencil the way you did! Reminds me of a stained glass window that way! Super cute bunny, although now, I really want to eat him! Thanks for sharing with us at 2CCC, and good luck! :)

That is a cool stencil, Carol, and I love how you turned it into a beautiful rainbow stained glass to surround the portrait of that realistic bunny! Now tell me about these chocolate markers of which you speak. How do you keep from eating them?! Thank you for sharing with everyone at NBUS! Keep well and thank you, too, for your good wishes!
